Xochitl Nails Thrives with Hill Country Salon Suites' Supportive Model

The high costs associated with leasing retail locations often pose significant challenges for entrepreneurs in the beauty industry. However, Hill Country Salon Suites in Georgetown, Texas, offers a viable solution, as evidenced by the success of Lourdes Yanez's new venture, Xochitl Nails.

Yanez, in her search for an affordable location for her nail salon, discovered Hill Country Salon Suites. "By chance, I stopped in at Hill Country Salon Suites. I talked to the owners, liked what they said, loved the support they give each of their tenants, and found the entire operation to be first-class. I couldn't be happier," she said.

Xochitl Nails currently offers a variety of services, including Acrylics, Gel Extensions, Structured Manicures, and basic Gel manicures, with appointments available from Thursday to Monday.

Hill Country Salon Suites, co-owned by Richard Spradley and Melanie Scharton, aims to support new entrepreneurs by providing them with an affordable and comprehensive amenities package. This model not only reduces overhead expenses but also offers moral support, creating a conducive environment for fledgling businesses to thrive.

"Sure, it was an investment," said Scharton, "but it is much more than that. It is our way of sharing our expertise to help new entrepreneurs to gain a foothold as business owners, to start their journey on solid ground. We love watching new owners flourish. We rent them an affordable salon suite, we add an amenities package which will save them a great amount in overhead expense, and we provide moral support along the way. It is a win-win for everyone concerned."

Manicurists at Hill Country Salon Suites benefit from several advantages, including short and long-term rental options, keeping 100% of their profits, flexibility to set their own hours and prices, and the ability to sell their own retail products without commission. Additional perks include utilities included in the rental price, free Wi-Fi, a free web page, on-site laundry facilities, and more. This model empowers beauty professionals to operate their businesses independently and profitably.

"This is not a franchise business model. You rent the retail unit and operate your business from that nail salon suite," added Scharton. "For all of those talented professionals who once believed they could not afford to own a salon, Hill Country Salon Suites is proof that it is possible."

Hill Country Salon Suites offers twenty-six salon suite rentals in Georgetown, Texas, each serving as a private location for independently owned beauty and wellness enterprises. This innovative model is paving the way for more beauty professionals to achieve their dreams of business ownership.
